I dig it! Very clean, minimal, elegant. The look of the site seems to match your work. I like the way the rollovers animate on the thumbs.

I did notice that on your thumbnails there is a "comments bubble" and eye graphic that is superimposed on the comments text. Maybe you have a CSS layout issue?

What is the logo graphic? Antlers?

Yes.

I'm not sure having antlers fits the wedding/portrait crowd. If you were a wildlife photographer, yes, but not sure if this fits. :confused:

-Antlers are odd--maybe this works in Oklahoma ?
-declaration of your religious opinion seems out of place and will definitely turn some people off--but maybe this plays well in your location.
-No call to action that I could see--ie. I see your photos--now what do I do ?
-No pricing that I could see. Many many people (again--like me, for instance) will simply reject a product when the price isn't readily visible to them.

If people have a problem with me being a Christian, then it's probably a good thing they leave. I get to 4-5 wedding inquiries a week, that's why I leave pricing off. It allows me to get the client interested and I can work within their budget.

Thank you for your input, though! I appreciate it.

Just to clarify--I wasn't meaning to suggest that people might have a problem with Christianity per se (although obviously that would also be true)--I'm just saying they might simply be turned off by the declaration of it in this venue.

Congrats on the 4-5 inquiries a week--that's a good place to be.
